As an old alum of Warren Wilson College, I'm writing at this time to say how incredibly proud I am of the men's basketball team and its newly crowned title of USCAA National Champions. My gosh, who would have dreamed it? And while it's true that past Wilson teams weren't always stellar, this new bunch of guys has wiped away all the bad memories and in a single swoop of the basket replaced them with a sense of pride and joy for all of us who ever called WWC home. Out of all the many things this little school-that-can has achieved over the years, I dare say this is one of the brightest and most memorable. Bravo, Owls!Joe Elliott, Arden# # #Last weekend the Warren Wilson basketball team won the national championship of the USCAA Conference. They were the ninth-seeded team in a tournament of 10 teams and won the final game against the top seed on their host floor. While your paper did have a story about the game, in the sports section, the first page had two stories about killings in our community, complete with photos of nine suspects. What a disappointment! I would hope, instead, that the lead story would have been about these hardworking young men and their new coach. I believe, if it had been UNC Asheville that won its tournament, that would have been the case.Mary Jane Boyd, Asheville
